When was Jesus born? When was he crucified?

[Chris Thomas Shepherd]

Well, I spent some time researching Jesus' life. In 7 BC a strange and extraordinarily rare event occurred. It is now called the Great Conjunction. It is a set of three separate alignments of Jupiter upon Saturn during that year. The first occurred in late May, the second in late September and the third, and final time happened on the 4th of December. A brilliant light, which was mistaken for a bright star, hung in the night sky on that most wondrous day. A child, born in a Manger would become King of Kings, and our Savior.
Exactly 14000 days later (2000 weeks) Jesus endured unimaginable pain and suffering for us on the 3rd day of April, 33 AD.
If you decide to check on the accuracy of this you will find that April 3rd, 33 AD is the only possible date for Jesus' crucifixion. Please feel free to verify my findings.

Wouldn't that make Jesus about 40 years old? I think he was only 30 when he died.

 

[Chris Thomas Shepherd]

Yes, actually 38. No one has ever given exact dates before, so 'in his thirties ' is a common reference.

Jesus was born in two different periods, according to two of the three synoptic gospels. In Matthew, Jesus was born under the reign of Herod. In Luke, Jesus was born under the rule of Quirinius after the banishment of Herod's successor, Archelaus. So, you are looking at a time period between 4 BC and 6 AD.

I appreciate your proposal, there are many ways to address the birth of Jesus. My methodology led me to Dec 4, 7 BC.
Thanks

Jesus born on April 17, 6 BC (17/4/747 AUC) & crucified Fri. April 7, 30 AD (7/4/782)


the above date shows up over & over again if one does a search on internet

Interesting, I'd always thought Jesus was only about 33 or so when he passed. I mean ultimately, none of this matters. Is Jesus any less God or the Messiah if he was 33 or 38?

Jesus was about 30 years old at his baptism (Luke 3:23) and his ministry lasted three years.

="Chris Thomas Shepherd, post: 76826908, member: 444996" final time happened on the 4th of December.

I think the best clue to figure out when Christ was born is to chart Zacharias course of Abiah and John the Baptist's birth. We know Elizabeth conceived after he finished his course (June going by their calander) and she was 6 months pregnant when Mary conceived -December.

Many doing that count Christ as being born in the autumn/September.
